Subject: Lyr Add: Because I love you so Machree.
A few months ago a request was made for this song, as I cannot locate the thread I will include the lyrics. I do not see this song in the DT which was popular in Ireland around the 1940s.
Because I love you so Machree.
Because I love you so Machree,
There`s no one else but you,
Your Irish eyes have conquered me,
Whate`er you will, I do.
Like sunrise o the Wicklow hills,
You set my heart aglow,
My bosom with sweet rapture thrills,
Because I love you so.
Because I love you so Mavrone,
I haste when you call,
I live for you and you alone,
I`ll gladly give you all,
Like sunrise on the Wicklow hills,
You set my heart aglow,
My bosom with sweet rapture thrills,
Because I love you so.
And to think that some poor song-writer sat up half the night to "compose" this, only for it to be murdered by by half of the Tenors in Ireland. They don`t write them like that anymore, and a multitude of Tenors cried "THANK GOD". Ard Mhacha
